Healthy, because
Invigorating aromas combine with many vitamins and minerals for low-calorie enjoyment. Seitan has a high protein content, but unlike meat it contains almost no fat and is absolutely cholesterol-free.
Even smarter
Whole grain rice is perfect as a carbohydrate side dish. In addition to gut-healthy fibre, it contains vitamin B1, which stimulates concentration and memory.
